Arizona voters are increasingly ditching partisan affiliation, allowing them to vote in any primary they want. In 2014, they wanted to influence Republican races by more than 2-to-1.

Moving to Maricopa County in May 2013 turned out to be tragic for my 51-year-old sister, Jewel Ewing.

Elections for two new at-large seats to the Maricopa County Community College District governing board will take place, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled today.

The dearth of reliable, independent polling in Arizona elections is nothing new. A long-term decline in independent polling by universities and media organizations has left IEs and other biased groups as the main source of publicly available polling for the state’s elections.

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is restructuring some divisions in an effort to enhance prosecutions of serious felonies.

The Arizona Supreme Court agreed today to hear an appeal to a ruling that struck down a 2010 law adding two at-large seats to the Maricopa County Community College District governing board.

The number of independents voting in the partisan primary election on Aug. 26 is expected to surge this year. And with nearly all the primary election action concentrated on the Republican side, independents are overwhelmingly choosing to vote in the GOP primary.

A requirement dating back to statehood that statewide candidates collect signatures from at least three counties in order to qualify for the ballot will be a thing of the past starting in 2016.

The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled today that a 2010 law adding two at-large seats to the Maricopa County Community College District governing board is unconstitutional, meaning the candidates for those seats will not be on the 2014 general election ballot.
